IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

You had planned to visit you head office which is located in a different city but can no longer go.

Write a letter to the manager of the head office. In your letter

– explain why you can’t go

– apologize for the short notice

– suggest a new time to visit.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Mrs H,

It has just come to my attention that I will not be able to visit head office next week as had initially been arranged. This is because an important client is visiting from abroad, and has requested that I give him a tour of the local tourist attractions during the weekend. It is unfortunate that I must cancel, but I have no other option under the circumstances.

My sincerest apologies for not providing you with more notice; however, I have just learned of this myself. I had initially been informed that the client would visit on the 28th, but he pushed the date forward for some reason that I am unaware of. I hope you hadn’t yet made any preparations for my visit.

Once the client leaves, I will be available and, therefore, would like to reschedule my visit to head office for the weekend of the 16th, if that is suitable for you. I am eager to resume our plans as soon as possible, so I would like to avoid delaying them any further. Please inform me if this arrangement is acceptable for you, and I will contact the airline to enquire if it is still possible to delay my flight.

Yours sincerely,
